Give a clear explanation for grammar translation method.
The grammar translation method instructs students in grammar, and provides vocabulary with direct translations to memorize. Most instructors now acknowledge that this method is ineffective by itself. It is now most commonly used in the traditional instruction of the classical languages. The grammar translation method is a method of teaching foreign languages derived from the classical method of teaching Greek and Latin. In grammar-translation classes, students learn grammatical rules and then apply those rules by translating sentences between the target language and the native language. Advanced students may be required to translate whole texts word-for-word.
The aim of teaching Latin and Greek was (and is) obviously not so that learners would be able to speak them. The aims were/are rather to develop : 1.Logical thinking 2.Intellectual capacities to attain a generally educational and civilizing effect 3.An ability to read original texts in the languages concerned , at least in the better learners. =to enable students to read and translate literature written in the target language//=to further students’ general intellectual development
Give information about Communicative language teaching approach.
Communicative language teaching (CLT) is an approach to the teaching of languages that emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language. It continues to be popular, particularly in Europe, where constructivist views on language learning and education in general dominate academic discourse. The origins of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) are to be found in the changes in the British language teaching tradition dating from the late 1960s. British applied linguists emphasized another fundamental dimension of language that was inadequately addressed in current approaches to language teaching at that time - the functional and communicative potential of language. They saw the need to focus in language teaching on communicative proficiency rather than on mere mastery of structures.
